That's not going to work out how they think it is. Texas State might win first season in.
All these conference shifts have created some interesting results. ASU moves into the XII and immediately ascends to the top. Arizona is always poised to represent in basketball. Those were two good "gets" by the XII. Even if they did come from the "lousy" PAC 10/12.

Will be interested to see how ASU plays out going forward. They were historically very average in football in the PAC. But they're in a conference now where #1 is pretty much open to most anyone. With Texas and Oklahoma gone, NIL really hasn't hindered the XII all that much. All teams have a chance.
I'm not one who believes SC thought it was going to move into the B1G and dominate, although historically USC has a winning record against most of the teams there, including some of the big boys. And with the Rose Bowl, we've played them a lot.
I hope SC is enjoying the money they're getting with the move though, because getting by tOSU, Penn St. and Michigan alone will make any NC run tough going forward. Add Oregon now, and SC will have a tough time of it. The teams in the XII have a much better chance at postseason appearances than SC does.
TX and OK leaving was a gift, and has opened the field up for everyone. And with TX and OK gone, the NIL factor is much less significant for the teams in the new XII.
